PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This appliance is clean burning. It requires no outside venting. There is no heat loss out a vent or up a chimney. Heat is generated by both realistic fl ames and glowing coals. This appliance is designed for vent-free operation with fl ue damper closed. It has been tested and approved to the ANSI Z21.11.2 standard for unvented appliances. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free ap­pliances. This appliance may also be operated as a vented decorative (ANSI Z21.60) product by opening the fl ue damper.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space un­less the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air for this and other fuel­burning appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy effi cient than ever. New materials, increased insulation and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Homeowners apply weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, homeowners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy effi cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap­pliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, some fi replaces, clothes dryers and some fuel-burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. That will ensure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUA TE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three

SAFETY DEVICE
This appliance has a pilot with an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room appliances. The ODS/pilot shuts off the appliance if there is not enough fresh air.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
This appliance has an electronic igniter to light appliance fuel supply.
following ventilation classifi cations:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfi ned Space
3. Confi ned Space The information on Pages 6 through 8 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of un­usually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defi ned as construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the out-
side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10 less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on
openable windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to
areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and fl oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at other openings.
If your home meets all three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8. If your home does not meet all three criteria above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location, Page 7.
Confi ned and Unconfi ned Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFP A54 allows two methods for determining

whether the space in which the heater is being installed is confi ned or unconfi ned space. The standard method defi nes a confi ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic
3
feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m
per kw) of the ag­gregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfi ned space as a space whose volume is not less than 50
3
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 m
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the un­confi ned space.
Where the air infi ltration rate of a structure is known, the Known Air Infi ltration Rate Method may be used. Follow The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 to use this method to determine if the space is confi ned or unconfi ned.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confi ned or Unconfi ned Space Using the Standard Method
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confi ned or unconfi ned space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install replace plus any adjoining rooms with door­less passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length
x width x height).
Length x Width x Height =__________cu. ft.
(volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft.
(width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room
is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine
the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
________ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support) Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
51,200 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup­port)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel-burning appliances
in the space.

Vent-free fi replace __________Btu/Hr Gas water heater* __________Btu/Hr Gas furnace __________Btu/Hr Vented gas heater __________Btu/Hr Gas fi replace logs __________Btu/Hr Other gas appliances* + _________ Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr * Do not include direct-vent gas appliances.
Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors. Example: Gas water heater __________Btu/Hr Vent-free fi replace + _________Btu/Hr Total = _________Btu/Hr
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space
can support with the actual amount of Btu/
Hr used. ______Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support) ______Btu/Hr (actual amount used) Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the
space can support)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of
Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confi ned space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can sup­port. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an
adjoining room. If the extra space provides
an unconfi ned space, remove door to adjoin-
ing room or add ventilation grills between
rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside
Building, Page 8.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See
Ventilation Air From Outdoors, Page 8. C. Install a lower Btu/Hr appliance, if lower Btu/
Hr size makes room unconfi ned. If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an unconfi ned space. Y ou will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE: When used as a vented appliance, appliance must be installed only in a solid­fuel-burning fi replace with a working fl ue and constructed of noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only: Instal­lation of this gas log set as a vented appliance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts re­quires the damper be permanently removed or welded in the fully open position.
If your appliance is a manually-controlled model, you may use this appliance as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your appliance in the vented mode.
1. The fi replace does not meet the clearance to combustibles requirements for vent­free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent­free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney fl ue damper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see Accessories, Page
41). This will ensure vented operation (see
Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep
damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent fl ue opening you must provide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum permanent fl ue open- ing will be maintained at all times.

INSTALLATION
Continued
Installation Items Needed
Before installing appliance, make sure you have the items listed below.
• external regulator (supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
• test gauge connection *
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• approved fl exible gas line with gas connec- tor (if allowed by local codes) (not provided)
* An equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11" and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, appliance regulator damage could occur. Install exter­nal regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 13. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged appliance valves.
WARNING: Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. In­ternally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or greater to allow proper gas volume to appliance. If pipe is too small, undue loss of volume will occur.
Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from appliance
(see Figure 14). IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve
in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to appliances.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off appliance
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners and circulat­ing air passageways of appliance clean. Inspect these areas of appli­ance before each use. Have appli­ance inspected yearly by a quali­ ed service person. Appliance may need more frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpeting, pet hair , bedding material, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning fl ame. Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint and pet hair. Clean these air in­let holes prior to each heating season. Blocked air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have appliance inspected yearly by a qualifi ed service person.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than 30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store or home center may carry compressed air in a can. If using compressed air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you don’t follow directions on the can, you could dam­age the pilot assembly.
1. Shut off unit, including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on injector holder for dust and dirt
(see Figure 51).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check injector holder located at end of burner tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean pilot assembly also. Additional clean­ing may be needed for proper pilot operation based on use/lack of use. A yellow tip on the pilot fl ame may indicate dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about from where the pilot fl ame comes out of pilot assembly (see Figure 52). With unit off, lightly blow air through air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.

LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to In-
stalling Logs, Embers and Volcanic Stone,
Page 18, to properly replace logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken or chipped (dime-
sized or larger).
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner fl ame holes with appliance running. All slotted burner fl ame holes should be open with fl ame present. All round burner ame holes should be open with a small blue fl ame present. Some burner fl ame holes may become blocked by debris or rust, with no fl ame present. If so, turn off appliance and let cool. Remove block­age, blocked burner fl ame holes will create soot.
W ARNING: The injector hold­ers (air shutters) are not adjust­able. Do not move injector holders from their original positions.
